Frying Pan NYC

This is one of my favorite places to have some drinks once the weather gets friendly and warm enough. Whether I am alone or with friends and family, nothing beats have a cold one when the weather heats up. Being on the Hudson, the nice river breeze, great conversations, its just the bomb. Prices: Mid-range. Not cheap not expensive but you pay for what you get. And really, you're paying to be on the boat and its worth it. Most beers start at 7-8 dollars and mixed drinks around 10 and up. This probably isn't the place you want to get trashed at anyway, so the prices will have you more conservative with your spending. Atmosphere: As I stated, the views, the river breeze, the boat just can't be beat. And the crowd who come here are a mix of everyone but everyone who knows how to behave. I've

Impressive that we can be in the midst of NYC; yet there is a charming unique nautical restaurant right there at Pier 66. We stumbled upon it walking from our Circle Line tour toward Chelsea pier. It looked quiet and fun and the staff so friendly. A beautiful place to have great drinks and watch the sunset. The food was exactly what we wanted too.

This place is purely awesome. I don’t know how I’ve lived in the city this long without having been here before. It is now on my list as a top spot to take friends and family when they visit! The food and drinks are great, which is almost an afterthought considering how enjoyable the experience of just being in the restaurant is. It has a vibe of feeling like you’re out on the water, but while still easily accessible to land. Sort of a cross between a boat and a pier. It’s a truly unique spot to hang out, whether you're sipping cocktails, enjoying a meal, or just soaking in the view of the Hudson. The upper level of the Frying Pan is more of a sit-down, reservation-only area, where you'll find cozy tables with umbrellas and great views of the river. The setup gives off a chic, maritime v

The views at sunset are absolutely incredible — you can see both the city buildings and the sea. The food is very good, with generous portions. You can simply enjoy a cocktail or a beer while watching the sunset and spending time in a very relaxed atmosphere. It’s a great spot to visit either as a couple or with a group of friends.

Absolutely incredible experience! Waterfront view, no reservation needed, $10 cocktails on Friday 8-10. Service isn't the most forthcoming, and a word of caution that the restaurant sways a bit because (obviously) it's on the water. But, overall, one of the best bar experiences I've had here in the city!
